Kashikar c9.35 - **Language:** English ### [c9.35](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.jolly-1901.c9.35) § 25. Form and Quantity of Medicine :— We can get an idea of the mixtures used by Indian physicians about 1600 years ago through the recipes that are prescribed in the Bower MS. Most of these consist of a considerable number of various ingredients and are adorned with sonorous titles like "Citron pills of Dioskuroi" (\*aśvinīmātulṅgaguṭikā\*), the ambrosia of ghee (\*amṛtaprāsam nāma ghṛtam\*), ghee containing ten medicines (\*daśāṅgam nāma ghṛtam\*), an oil for removing wrinkles and grey hair (\*valipalitanāśanam tailam\*) and the like. Many of these names as well as the recipes themselves are repeated in later medical literature. - [Previous: c9.34](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.jolly-1901.c9.34) - [Next: c9.36](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.jolly-1901.c9.36) - [Up: c9](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.jolly-1901.c9) ## Cites (1) - [Bower Manuscript](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.yoga.bower) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.jolly-1901.c9.35](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.jolly-1901.c9.35) · Pramāṇa
